    Hi there 

    You can send additional info to dwp put a covering letter and ensure you put your name and national insurance number on all pages.  Send it to same address you sent your form to 

    This is the normal way to submit and nor through the assessment company 

    Capita are the usual assessment company

    Hi @ali2021 - on checking it seems to be Independent Assessment Services (IAS) in Kent.

    @chiarieds thank you ! Do you think I should maybe call them? It takes forever to get back through to DWP ?

    Hi @ali2021 - you could try giving them a ring to see what they recommend. If you decide to call the DWP it's best to ring them when they open at 9am.

    Hi Ali. Like you, I need to add information ( I didn’t do it at all on the form) but through this forum, I know I can give it during my assessment which is this week.

    It's understandable that you wanted to call them, I wouldn't feel bad about that at all. As you say, you have time to prepare for the assessment and I hope all goes well for you.
    Let us know how you get on
